by the violence of his emotion

"By tic grace of God. Let my destiny be

The magistrate put his notes in order and
made Laroque sign his responses received
the declaration of Jean Guerrier, and with
the report OF the expert and the notes that
formed part Of the accusation, made a packet
which was to 60 to Versailles to the judge
who was charged with the signing. At this
minute the clock struck r.
"Follow me-" said LianGrd.
In passing through the counting room
Roger found assembled all the employees, with
Jean Guclrier, and all having a preseutmcnt
of coming trouble. They all gathered around
him.

Guerrier was the only one who embraced
him.
"This accusation is ridiculous" said he
consolingly. you will justify yourself
easily"
Laroque smiled, though he had no faith in
establishing his innocence. In the courtyard
were gathered all the workmen, and the word
passed like wldfire, "The patron is arrested.

This conversation and the decision Of I.ucicn
came in an evil moment, for she had con-
uuctcl. unknown TO him, new debts to The
the amount of 100 600 francs For SIX months
her creditors had waited praccabiy, and then
they began their demands, and lately they
had tormentcd her beyond measure for tho

this that She hal met Roger l.1ioque, then
little more than a boy, and She lad loved Inn
with such ardor that she forgot everything
else-Lucien, children, the world and even
her luxurious toiettes, and her debts as well.
Lucien dc Noirvlle was one Of the busiest
lawyers Of Paris, and Julia had, therefore, a
complete liberty, and frequently went to
amusemcnts and in society alone, and there
met Laroquc, who was barely known TO
Lucien. as they nod met but once CT twice in
company.
But This last interview with IMcien on tho
subject of the debts, of which he knew as
yet nothing, was the cause of Roger La

! We cannot explain nor excuse such q fault,
but it was a sad fact which was to bear
bitter fruit in after years.
! Julia loved Roger with strength and
! depth of passion that frightened while it
weariel him. Relying upon that strange
| prescience of true love Julia knew that
, Roger did not love her, had never loved her,
I and her unframed nature made her fierce and
cruel in her demands. This was the only
fault in the life of Laroque, and he was to

Lucien de Noirville, tine lawyer, had mar
ried Julia during n voyage he had made in
Algiers. The first years of their marriage
his lif, was calm enough. Julia had two
children, boys, and when they were, so to
speak, out of her arms She plunged into the
widest extravagances, and her tolettes were
the marvel of all who saw Ler and who knew
that Lucien, although making a comfortable
income, could NOT afford such unlimited ex-
peuse in dress and jewels.
\ last Lucian was constrained to have an
explanation with his wife, the more so as he
had overheard some very severe criticisms on
hcr extravl.,auce during the evening at q
ball. As Sc. "a as they were at home he came
to her and said:
